Why check in?

ALWAYS CHECK IN AT THE OFFICE BEFORE GOING TO THE CLASSROOMS - it is a matter of safety for our students. The teachers know the students in their classrooms, but they do not know all of the families and adults connected to the students. It is very important for your child's safety that all staff members be able to recognize adults who have properly checked in, displaying an office-issued name tag.

All staff have been requested to redirect any non-staff adults who do not display a name tag to the office. Let's all follow the 'School Rules' and the Newark Education Code and keep our campus safe.

Traffic Safety - seguridad vial

As we begin the school year, Newark Police Department will begin citing drivers whenever necessary to encourage compliance of traffic laws and to reinforce that safety of our children is a priority.

There have been multiple incidents endangering children even a child being struck and several near misses. Please remember that children’s cognitive abilities are still developing and they lack training and experience in traffic safety.

Keys to avoid receiving a citation:

Drive Slow

Do not make illegal U-turns

Have car seats for children

Have seat belts on all passengers

Make a “full-stop” at stop signs

Putting our children at risk is not worth the few minutes you may save by rushing and breaking these suggestions. Newark Unified School District and the Newark Police Department want to keep everyone safe.

Safety reminders for children walking to school:

Walk, don’t run across the street

Look left, look right and left again

Obey Walk/Wait signals

Do not cross at mid-block locations

Use crosswalks

Safety reminders for children biking to school:

Always wear a properly fastened and fitted helmet

Obey all traffic laws

Ride in the same direction as motor vehicles

Birthday Treats

Please make prior arrangements with your child’s teacher before bringing in birthday treats for your child to share with his/her class. Also, we ask that balloons, flowers and other large displays be given to the child at home because they are very distracting in the classroom.

Bring the healthiest treats if possible. We know the tradition is sugary cupcakes and such, but we are trying to teach our children healthier ways of eating.
